Modeling

We are proud to announce the Camunda Modeler 2.2 release. This release improves the accessibility of all diagram editors, ships a number of important fixes and provides feature parity with Camunda BPM 7.10.

Tl;dr We just released a new Camunda Modeler plugin that makes it possible to preview task forms and to automatically generate HTML for embedded task forms–all without leaving the Camunda Modeler. The plugin makes it much faster and easier to do form prototyping at the beginning of a project and then get up and running with an embedded task form.
While some workflow automation use cases can be solved with “straight-through processing”–that is, a process where all tasks are completed by software systems and with no manual intervention–we human beings still have an important role to play in many scenarios.

We are happy to announce the Camunda Modeler 2.0 release. The new Modeler ships with major improvements to BPMN editing and another round of minimap enhancements. A brand new properties panel for DMN adds support for Camunda specific properties and allows you to inspect and edit technical DMN properties in one place. Finally, the modeler now ships with signed executables, allowing you to safely employ it, even in locked down, corporate environments on both MacOS and Windows.

We are happy to announce the latest release of our Camunda Modeler, version 1.16.0 shipping with an improved minimap and a number of improvements and bug fixes. It also ships with the latest BPMN modeling.

We are happy to announce the latest release of our Camunda Modeler, version 1.15.0. The release ships with numerous small usability improvements. With a new version of our BPMN toolkit under the hood it brings the long-awaited ability to model data stores between participants/pools, too.

We are happy to announce the release of Camunda Modeler version 1.14.0. This release ships with the possibility to create new diagrams from empty files, Signavio compatibility and the latest BPMN, DMN and CMMN modeling.

We are happy to announce the release of Camunda Modeler version 1.13.0. This release brings new features and improvements to BPMN properties editing. It also ships with the latest BPMN, DMN and CMMN modeling.

We are proud to announce the release of Camunda Modeler version 1.12.0. This is the first stable release shipping with the completely rewritten DMN modeling that handles large decision tables with ease. We’ve also added the possibility to deploy diagrams directly from the Camunda Modeler.

We are proud to announce the release of Camunda Modeler version 1.12.0-alpha-3. This alpha release ships with the latest DMN modeling and the possibility to deploy diagrams directly from the Camunda Modeler. It also brings us one step closer to a stable release which you can expect at the end of March.

BPMN Diagrams are usually displayed as twodimensional images. A top-down view of the process, that focuses on readability and is practical for day-to-day work. Those of you who were at BPMCon 2017 will probably remember the interactive experience “Be A Token” where you could walk around in a BPMN process in virtual reality. This blog post describes how the 3D rendering of bpmn processes is built with Javascript using bpmn-js and A-Frame.

If you missed BPMCon or did not get the chance to play it in virtual reality, there is an online version of “Be A Token” which can be played in the browser.

We are proud to announce the release of Camunda Modeler version 1.12.0-alpha-2. This alpha release of the Camunda Modeler makes editing DMN decision tables easier and brings us closer to a completely rewritten and feature-complete DMN modeling experience.

We are happy to announce the release of Camunda Modeler version 1.12.0-alpha-1. This release marks the first ever alpha release of the Camunda Modeler. It features a completely rewritten DMN modeling that is blazingly fast and handles big decision tables with ease.

We are happy to announce the Camunda Modeler version 1.8.2 release!
This patch release contains a bug fix where changing process properties using the properties panel led to inconsistencies and made modeling the diagram impossible.
We recommend all users of version 1.8.1 to download the new version from camunda.org as soon as possible.
You can learn about all new features introduced in version 1.8.1 in this blog post.
What’s next?

Extending the BPMN properties panel to add custom elements.
Goal In this article, we will try to add a custom element to the BPMN properties panel under the ‘General’ tab for a service task type component. To be precise, under the ‘General’ tab, in the details sections, if ‘Java Class’ is selected as implementation type, a text box appears below. Here the user is expected to enter the java class, but our goal is to replace the text box with a combo box, where the options are populated externally with JSON/API data.

This release adds the ability to model Decision Requirement Diagrams (DRDs).
On top of that, it brings huge performance improvements when working with large diagrams (BPMN, CMMN and DMN) and feature parity with Camunda BPM 7.6.

This release provides an update on CMMN modeling, adding the ability to model on-part as well as discretionary connections. Diagram search is now available for CMMN diagrams along with modeling support for a number of other elements.

This release contains many new features and stability fixes that significantly improve the modeling experience.
Working with large diagrams should be a lot faster due to features like copy and paste, searching and custom element templates. In addition to that, we are introducing CMMN support in the Modeler.

Element templates for BPMN diagrams is one of the exciting features shipped with the latest release of our Camunda Modeler.
They allow developers to extend the modeler with custom controls for certain BPMN elements.

A template, once selected for a diagram element, provides custom fields with domain specific validation of user input.

Today we’re releasing a new version of the Camunda Modeler. It comes with many new features, such as the addition of a XML editor for BPMN and DMN diagrams, image exporting and a greatly improved tab handling.

Today we’re releasing a new version of the Camunda Modeler, with it we’ve added Data Stores, Compensation, Job priorities and retry time cycle configuration, a Hand tool for BPMN and dragging columns and rows in DMN.

Yesterday, CMMN 1.1 and DMN 1.1 have been approved by the OMG Architecture Board. This means that the new versions of the industry standards “Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN)” and “Decision Model and Notation (DMN)” are now final. They are immediately available to OMG members and it’s just a matter of some final document conversion until they are released to the public.
Camunda already released the implementation Camunda was ahead of it’s time and already released it’s implementations of CMMN 1.

Today we release the first version of the new Camunda Modeler to the public. The new modeler is a desktop application and integrated modeling solution for BPMN 2.0 and DMN 1.1. It builds on top of the BPMN 2.0 and DMN tooling provided by bpmn.io and brings its simplicity, performance and style to every computer.
Speaks BPMN 2.0, DMN 1.1 and Camunda: The new Camunda Modeler Download the new Modeler from camunda.

We have put together a collection of BPMN 2.0 diagrams for research purposes. These diagrams have been created in our BPMN trainings, which we have been giving since 2008. In all of these trainings, the participants created BPMN diagrams based on so called text-to-model exercises. We provide you with the exercise texts, the participants’ results as well as our sample solutions.
All diagrams have been anonymized and are provided as BPMN 2.

Today we release the first version of dmn.io, our new DMN modeling toolkit. dmn.io allows you to view and model decisions with the DMN 1.0 standard directly on the web. The dmn.io library provides a viewer and an editor that can be embedded into web applications. With this release we provide the front-end element for the latest Camunda BPM 7.4.0 alpha release, which introduced support for DMN.

With bpmn.io and the Camunda REST API it is really simple to develop a small HTML page that displays a process instance grafically and highlights some activities. In our "JSF Simple Tasklist" snippet we used this to highlight the current Task (like it is done in the Camunda BPM Tasklist):
The cool thing - you do not need a lot of code to do this! This is what we do:

The BPMN.io guys are making AWESOME progress. Version 0.6.0 of the BPMN Javascript toolkit BPMN.io has been released today. With this release support for modeling has been greatly enhanced.

Last week camunda and zalando announced bpmn.io.
What is bpmn.io about?
In short: BPMN everywhere, for everyone
In detail: read this blogpost
I want to explain why this is a really important step for camunda BPM.
So far we are offering a great BPMN engine, probably the best you can find if you are a java developer. This engine comes with great Web Applications which fully utilize the deployed BPMN diagrams.
